[Miscellaneous Android Development] bpopilek:
I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction since I am at my wits end with this tablet!!! What I have and have done is as follows.

1. I have the Asus ZenPad C 7.0 P01Z tablet and it is currently on firmware 5.02

2. I have been able to enable USB debugging on it and used the command "adb reboot fastboot" to get to the screen with the Android on it.

3. Once in fastboot mode, I can issue "fastboot devices" to see the tablet.

4. I then send "fastboot oem asus-go" and get:

(bootloader) Device is already unlocked!

OKAY [ 0.008s]

finished. total time: 0.008s

5. I then send "fastboot oem asus-go confirm" to which this happens:

FAILED (remote: Please run oem unlock first and read instructions)

finished. total time: 0.001s

6. If I send "fastboot getvar all" I have the following:

(bootloader) version-baseband: 24832

(bootloader) version-bootloader: 1715.100_M1S1

(bootloader) product: SF_3GR

7. I finally decide to go for it and send "fastboot boot root-z170c_cg.img" and I see:

downloading 'boot.img'...

(bootloader) Ready to receive: 0x0078b000 size of data

OKAY [ 0.179s]

Now I am stuck on the Asus screen with a spinning circle. I can power it off and get back into fastboot mode by holding power and volume up. Does anyone have any clue as to what I need to do to fix this and get root before I throw this thing against a wall?! Any help is very much appreciated!
